Do You Get Ticked Off When the Media Portrays Michael Jackson as a Drug Junkie?

Question by summer 369: Do you get ticked off when the media portrays Michael Jackson as a drug junkie?
Since Michael’s death, when talk show hosts (I’m not naming any names) do shows on prescription drug addictions, they ALWAYS refer back to “Michael Jackson died of a drug overdose”, as though Michael intentionally wanted to kill himself doing drugs. Does it tick you off that these talk show hosts are swaying their viewers to think that Michael was a drug addict? What do you think of them when they do that?

She’s just 19, and I was wondering what would be a good treatment program for her. She got hooked up on drugs because of her friends and I don’t want this to continue. She really needs to get herself treated as soon as possible. She knows this, and she too, wants to go into rehab already.
